Mazat begun to shake as he began to walk towards the podium. He passed the High Shaman on his way there, who had just finished a sermon to the denizens of the city. The temple to Malacath smelled strongly of burning trash and feces, and many of the Imperials and Nords were visibly unsettled by the aroma. He places his hands on the altar, letting out a sigh. "People of Bruma... As Spring begins to wind down to a close, we must bring sad news to Bruma's citizens. Of the three hundred people sent with the Empire's army one hundred were killed in a brutal attack along the Niben river. Indeed, a sad day for our High Chiefdom as many of these people were brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, mothers and fathers!"

 

"However! We mustn't forget their sacrifice to this great Nation, for on this day these brothers and sisters to the Chiefdom ascend to immortality in Malacath's ashpit!" The High Chiefdom slams his fist onto the podium in anger, his voice growing louder and louder. "Today we prepare for glorious battle! These mountains are ours and we will pillage and raid until the cliffs run red with the blood of the intruders!"

 

"Build a barracks! More deaths will fuel our rage for even when we are dead will we continue to thirst for war!" As his speech begins to wind down the orcs begin to join in on with the loud environment, yelling and growls echoing through the temple. "Aye, even the goblins and ogres will join us in glorious conquest! Our chiefdom will rival that of even Orsinium! We are the Jeralls and our rage is unending!"

 

"So I must ask of you, Bruma! Be as your ascestors once were! For we are as the merciful Trinimac became the merciless Malacath! We are not mere elves, we are Orsimer! We are Orcs!

Queen Athaere sits in her throne bored, holding up her hand she practices several different spells watching the magics whirl about. She needed something to do to pass the time, something to devote to when the Realm didn’t need her constant attention.

 

So it struck her, She would work and form the Mages into a full fledged group, two birds with one stone she could use that to devote her studies and practice while organizing the Mages into a full fledged force.

Queen Athaere along with all the other Mages work together to construct and organize a large section in a secured area of the Palace. Where Mage’s could train, study, and the Masters can safely secure and study powerful magics and artifacts.

 

---Dominion Edicts---

 

Queen Athaere works with her fellow Mage’s to build a place of learning and diverts labor into aiding in it’s construction. (4 AP)

Siege

 

The plans are altered as the army reaches the city. The losses have been grave, but there's no time to mourn. The victory had been theirs, and the city was in sight. The fleet of twenty warships is called down to Bravil. Armed with nets, javelins, and spears, the navy would be ready for an Argonian ambush. The navy would circle the city by water. They would also escort the transports, as they deliver fresh supplies.

 

The army would remain together, and move to the shore. From there the recently arrived navy will move contingents down the river to the other side. The army will stick together, taking each step carefully. If the crossing is allowed, the city will be surrounded by water and land. Defenses will be made, alongside siege equipment.

 

Bravil is given the option to settle the war with a battle of Champions.

 

Construction of defensive forts and siege equipment (4 ap)

 

The Jerallian contingent and nation is thanked for their brave contributions.

Al-Sham

“They are here My Sultan.” says a loyal guard to Ibraheem “bring them in! I hope i did not scare our neighbors…” he says with a soft chuckle giving a signal of the hand to let them enter the building. Three Messengers enter the building all looking a bit nervous, One moves forward and hands Ibraheem the letter and it reads “Peace be upon you leader of Elinhir Ibraheem Al-Assad, I am Hamzah ibn Khalid Abdullah leader of Skaven and nation of Khalastine and high commander of the army Al-Nur, I wish for peace between our two great nation as well, i would also like an non aggression pact between our nation, I have hopes that you are a wise man and accept my request, perhaps maybe together we can solve this problem as well, I can assure you that i have not received your men in the past i'll send scouts to help find your scouts and point them to your way after they rest at my city as well, my men have went missing as well and i would like you to look for them and send them back to me when they are able, I to have such dreams as yours to see Hammerfell united maybe our dreams might become a reality, but i do advise you to lower your troop escort for it seem as if you were going to attack us, i would like to send someone with you so i can see the condition of your people as well, perhaps one day if the gods will I can greet you into my home and we can share some fresh rose tea and some roast lamb as good friends.”  Ibraheem would read it carefully with a smile on his face “I accept this offer of non aggression pact, but i have a few questions to ask you diplomates!” he says with a warm smile as some chefs brings some fruits for the diplomates assuming they were hungry from their long trip “tell me about your nation, How does your leader rule? How do the People fair? what kind of attributes does Sultan Hamzah have?” he begins to list off, a surprised look on the diplomates faces “Hamzah Saved our country in all honesty sultan ibraheem, his father united the country when it was war torn, Hamzah leads with justice and makes sure everyone is safe, And now that hamzah rules the people have been better then even before the 70 years, he is a smart man who thinks often and never freaks out when something bad happens, he always is just and cares for his people more them himself.” one of the diplomats spoke up being stopped by the raise of ibraheems hand and a warm smile “I heard from my men that he was calm even when he saw my 300 escorts, which now to think of it...I believe i sent to many..my apologies if i sent a scare in your nation, this shows me and from what i hear from my guards and from what i hear you have said, he is indeed a righteous man.” he smiles warmly to the diplomates “I don't want the offer he gave.” he says suddenly “I want to GIVE more then that.” he says with a smile “we will have the non aggression pact but i want to offer a trade agreement, a defensive pact! Soon in time i might even ask for a alliance between our two countries!” he says with a sun’s smile “I want to also say that I will look for your scouts and i believe we have a common enemy of bandits, and make sure your sultan knows that he and everyone of Khalistine Is welcome in Al-Sham!” he says with a pat on the shoulder of a diplomate “rest and soon you will be escorted back and we will escort you with just a 150 men this time...I know its a lot but i dare  not risk your lives.” he would leave the room to set everyone out to do work and what not and writes a letter to give to each diplomate written with “I accept your offer of a Non aggression pact but i want to offer a trade agreement and defensive pact between our two nations! One day i hope for use to become good allies and make a alliance together, i have sent men to look for your scouts and i also send gifts of thanks for feeding my men and also in a apologizing manner for sending so much troops the last time!

Khalastine

Hamzah would be standing hovering table, a Smile upon his face as he looks at the map “My Sultan! Our diplomates have returned from Elinhir!” a guard would say entering the room with a smile “bring them in! I wish to speak with them.” he says excited to find out they returned safely. The diplomats enter the room with warm smiles on their faces handing him a letter with a few chests of gifts “what is this?” Hamzah would obviously be confused by the chests taking the letter and readying “I accept your offer of a Non aggression pact but i want to offer a trade agreement and defensive pact between our two nations! One day i hope for us to become good allies and make a alliance together, i have sent men to look for your scouts and i also send gifts of thanks for feeding my men and also in a apologizing manner for sending so much troops the last time!” upon reading his face turned to a warm smile “It seems we have a Good neighbor in hammerfell now.” he says moving to a chest to open one up seeing it filled with gold coins and a curved sword with a decorated hilt, With his eyes widen with surprise he opens the other chest seeing it filled to the brink with gold coins “How much gold coin is this?” He ask one of his diplomates “300 gold coins and he also has sent other gifts outside.” upon hearing this he exits the building upon seeing 10 horses, his face seemed surprised and happy but deep in thought “summon my scribe and did the escorts leave yet?” he asks one of his guards “no sir, they are going to now it seems.” he reported to the sultan “Dont let them leave just yet tell them that the sultan wish’s if they could escort another diplomate back.” hamzah tells the guard and heading into the building to write a letter back “I accept Them All! When my diplomats came back with gifts, i was in honesty shocked, this shows me you had no intent of harm, I To wish for a alliance and a wise man once said ‘When you seem a person of good, Stick to them like holding onto a tree to avoid the flood’ I offer a alliance between Al-Shams And Khalistine! I do hope you accept this offer, And I thank you for your gifts.” Hamzah hands the letter to the diplomates and sends them off with the al-sham 150 escorts with 20 of khalistine escorts “Now, Saeed.” he says to the man as he enters the building “i want more focus on our mines and to have the men to look for anything we might use.” Hamzah finishes and saeed heads out to give off the orders giving a warm smile and nod as he does so. Hamzah would then begin to write another letter  “Peace be upon you leader of dragonstar High Chief Urbuil Gastub, I am Hamzah ibn Khalid Abdullah leader of Skaven and nation of Khalastine and high commander of the army Al-Nur, I wish for peace and prosperity between our two nation, as well as trade and a non-aggression pact, i hope you are a wise leader and accept my request for surely there is no need for hostility between our nation, if you wish to send a message for me, tell my diplomats and their escort to wait, and they will deliver  your diplomats to me in safe condition i hope, i wish for you to know that i have a plan for our nation My goals are to help Hammerfell become united so we do not get taken over by any invaders and to help the peoples from any unjust rulers,and restore full peace to Hammerfell, and i am not the only one and i hope you have the same dreams as i do, and perhaps one day if the gods will I can greet you into my home and we can share some fresh rose tea and some roast lamb as good friends.” Hamzah would then wrap the letter and hands it to Uthaman “send this letter to the leader of Dragonstar with 60 arm troops as escorts.” Uthman would immediately take the letter  and bow slightly  “i will send them right away My Sultan.” Uthaman would say as he begins to walk off with his order, Hamzah would turn and walk out to the balcony look at his city with warm smile “A new era is beginning for the people of Khalastine, a good one it seems.”

[Lsuvsfar 255]

Hegathe

“What next?” Cartos exclaimed in frustration as he looked at the map of Hammerfell, focusing in on Hegathe and Sentinel, “We’ve tried to go over the road. We’ve tried to outflank them in the south. Where the hell are we supposed to go to get in?”

 

The other three members of the King’s Council sat quiet before Endon walked over and looked at the map. “Well, since I’m assuming that the coast is out of the question,” Endon started, “I think there’s only one way left to try.”

 

Cartos glared at Endon, then down at the map before he loudly sighed. “Damned mountains…. So, shall we begin preparing an expeditionary force?”

 

Just then, a diplomat barged into the room. “My liege,” he declared, “I return with news from Daggerfall.”

 

Cartos looked at him for a moment, half tempted to kick him out, but instead said, “Alright, let’s hear this news.”

 

The diplomat nodded before he began. “I have returned from Daggerfall with plenty of opportunity present. After meeting with their representatives, I was able to secure a non-aggression pact with them, and from the way they spoke, it did not sound like a defensive alliance was all too far out of our reach,” The diplomat paused for a moment, before continuing. "However, in order to do this, we must take care of a problem for Daggerfall, which will undoubtedly become an issue for us. Pirates, they have been attacking ships, mainly by boarding them or running them aground. Fortunately, most of their ships only carry crews of twelve or fifteen from reports."

 

Cartos nodded to the man and dismissed him before turning to Endon, Derik, and Anton. “The choice here, is clear.”

 

“Yes,” Derik said in agreement, “For now, we must protect our assets, and our allies.”

 

“Good,” Cartos said in agreement, “Mobilize the reserves.”

 

Military Plan:

Hegathe is now going to be manning it’s 10 supply ships with an additional 500 men from the army reserve. Fifty men will be put onto each of these ships. These men are to be hidden on the supply ships, with 30 men being armed with armor and melee weapons and 20 more wielding archer equipment. On half of the boats are the five Master mages. In addition, the men on board have all been equipped with the supplies so as to make boarding the pirate ships possible.

 

The plan from this point was simple, have the merchant ships sail around the southern coast of Daggerfall in order to attempt to capture the pirate ships. Once being spotted, the merchant ships would begin making a run for it, slowly being run down by the pirate ships. Upon them arriving within range, the merchant ship would turn and the men would rush out, showing their full military might, immediately demanding a surrender by throwing down their arms. If they failed to surrender, archers would immediately open fire on the ship in order to kill the crewmen on board. If that didn’t work or they were boarded or forced to board, melee forces would engage the enemy.

 

Upon the destruction surrender being met, survivors would be captured and taken prisoner to be interrogated in Hegathe. All equipment would be confiscated and taken back to Hegathe. The enemy ship would be captured and taken back to Hegathe, escorted by the ship which captured it.

 

Aboard the ship with the mages, the jobs of the mages will be to open fire at range and burn the ships if they try running, use spells to immobilize, incapacitate, or kill the enemy if they attempt to combat the ship, and heal all those who are in need of it.

 

Upon capture of the enemy, all prisoner will be taken back to Hegathe and interrogated to find out what they know.

 

AP:

2 AP Hegathe is going to rally, arm, and deploy 500 reservist forces into service aboard the 10 trade ships in the manner described above.

 

2 AP Hegathe is going to begin interrogating any captured prisoners to discover the base of their piracy operation.

County of Evermore

Other nodded in approval as he inspected the wall, things had been going all according to plan soon he would be ready to start the offensive.
The walls were now in good shape and could withstand any unorganized attack, now that the defenses were finished Uther thought he could focus fully on offense.

He knew that at some point the defenses would need to be improved but for now he knew that it would be enough.

Now the priority was to further train his troops and prepare to take over the provinces of Ferrrum and Jehenna and even though he was not entirely sure if the provinces were under one leader or two separate ones he was sure that if he kept improving the military he would be able to take them over.

yet he also knew that he was  ultimately still not ready yet, he first needed to make sure his men were trained and disciplined enough to not break the line and stand against almost any threat yet to make sure they were fully ready he also needed to make sure they were properly equipped.

Adding to this he was sure that in the near future possibly next year he would need to start to get siege weapons and he would need to make sure he had good commanders, good tactics and study the terrain of the two provinces up north since he would need to know the terrain to know how to win the battle.

But for now Uther looked upon the walls and looked in satisfaction as he knew he could now focus almost entirely on the offensive and crush any enemies that stood in the way of disunity.

After inspecting the walls and seeing that they were properly kept and strong Uther went to the keep to give his next orders on what should be done this year.

Lord snowfist comes out to greet his civilians " My brothers and sisters i regret to inform you that our ship has yet to return." in back of the crowd you hear women and children crying. " Their deaths will not be in vain though we shall honor them with the hunt" the men cheer loudly with anger of the lost but pleasure from the hunt. " So men you get the mines started up while the guards and soldiers start planning the hunting grounds and the women will start the burial for the men" They all leave as the mages shoot flames in the air as a type of fireworks as they explode in the air and disperse.

The men are deployed, and the ships sent out. At first, the plan seems to be going well. The pirate ships attempt to run the trade ships aground, and are surprised when the military groups appear on deck. The three ships found do surrender, without an arrow fired, but as they are escorted back towards Hegathe, the seas themselves seem to start tearing the trade ships apart. The mages do everything they can to keep the ships together, and those with mages actually on them succeed, but those without do not. Taking advsntage if the chaos, the prisoners over power their guards, snd take the two ships, throwing many men overboard into the raging waves. As many men are saved as possible, but lives are still lost. As the surviving ships begin to pursue the stolen ships, a deep fog covers the ocean, and one of the ships safely escape. (-2 Trade Ships, - 40 Military)

 

The other ship ends up crashing against the rocky coast, and the surviving pirates, and anything salvageable, are taken from the wreck, and brought back to Hegathe. The pirates reveal, after some "persuasive techniques" that the pirate's group is called the Bonehawk Raiders, and that they are using a stone spire off the coast of Daggerfall as a base. The spire has an entrance that only opens late at night, as if by magic.

 

They are even so kind as to mark the exact location on a map for you.

The plans work well, and Bravil is surrounded by both land and water. Fortifications are built for a long siege, but when the alternative to end the war with a battle of Champions arises, Bravil agrees easily.

 

The Crescent Empire’s champion steps forward, Captain Flaro, of the Imperial Blades.

 

Bravil’s champion steps forward, a scrawny khajiit with mussed fur, wearing nothing more than commoners clothing. He is announced as Jo’Irr.

 

The two face off in a circular pen, 40 feet in diameter. An Jerallian Orc steps forwards, and announces the rules.

 

1. This is a fight to the death. Mercy may be granted if a fighter is unable to fight, but otherwise the fight continues until either Captain Flaro of the Crescent Empire, or Jo'Irr of Bravil have perished.

2. Everything goes. This fight is as clean, or as dirty, as the fighters make it.

3. No outside intervention is allowed. Throwing in weapons, or attacking a contestant from outside the pen is against the rules.

Captain Flaro observes his opponent. Jo’Irr turns invisible, and Captain Flaro backs up, against the pen’s fence, and kicks up sand.

 

After several moments, a lightning bolt strikes out at Captain Flaro, and a Storm Atronach is floating in the middle of the field.

 

Captain Flaro rushes from against the fence, trying to spot the Khajiit. The crowd watches as Jo’Irr appears as he launches a green orb from his clawed hand, and hits Captain Flaro in the back with it. Captain Flaro freezes midstep, and crashes to the ground.

 

Jo’Irr approaches the now fallen guard, and conjures a blade from the air, while dissipating the atronach. He stabs him through the back, killing him. The Imperial crowd shouts in anger, and the Jerallian Orc calls the fight, in favor of the Bravilian Champion, Jo’Irr.

 

The Crescent Empire decides to continue the war, regardless of what was said.

Al-Sham

Ibraheem would sit in the room quietly in thought as his friends discuss topic of the nation and their new friend when suddenly a guard enter  all all hushed to listen “My sultan, a diplomate from skaven has arrived with our men, and wishes to speak to you.” the guard reports “Let him in, Do not keep our friends waiting.” he smiles to the guard as some men escort the diplomate into the room. The diplomate handed the letter to guard to transfer it to ibraheem. As ibraheem began to read it his face widen with shock“I accept Them All! When my diplomats came back with gifts, i was in honesty shocked, this shows me you had no intent of harm, I To wish for a alliance and a wise man once said ‘When you seem a person of good, Stick to them like holding onto a tree to avoid the flood’ I offer a alliance between Al-Shams And Khalistine! I do hope you accept this offer, And I thank you for your gifts.” he reads it carefully still in shock, the room slowly moved closer to ibraheem to see what made his so dazed until a warm smile came to his face “I AGREE TO THE ALLIANCE OF AL-SHAMS AND KHALISTINE!” ibraheem would rush to hug the diplomate “go with my 150 escorts back home and tell him of my acceptance! If he ever needs anything from me let me know and i will rush to him with open arms!” ibraheem sent the diplomate off to skaven with 150 escorts looking to his friends “It is time we send a diplomate to Rihad and see what the outsiders of hammerfell are...I dont want any problems.” he then summons his scribe and writes this letter “From Sultan Ibraheem Ibn Adam Al-Assad, Sultan of Al-Shams the province of Elinhir, High Commander Of The Saber Cats Of Al-Sham, The protecter, The defender, the Conqueror of hearts and Minds, The deal maker, The sword and shield of the weak and poor and unfortunate, The One who turns no blind eye to Justice, I am Sultan Ibraheem Al-assad to the leader of Rihad King Nisib Saorgba, I heard Of how you care for your people, how you do everyhting in your power to help them and sadly your province in hammerfell has had some bad times, I want to help,

I wish for a trade agreement and for you to send a man with my escorts to let me know of how i can help my fellow redguard. I have plans to unite all of Hammerfell and already have created a Alliance, I Have lead my people as you have and i want to offer my support in some way to ease the burden of you people. I am a man of justice and i will not turn a blind eye to a people in need. I Do suggest If You want me to fully work with your people that you would Join the nation of Al-Sham and you will have a position in my console to suggest matters of the nation. If my escorts seem to much to you i must assure you it is a small amount of men and worth the protection of my people.I am also sending food for your people in case they in need of food, Inform me of any needs your people may have and i will supply you with them, Peace be to you oh king Nisib, may your country be at peace.” ibraheem would hand the letter to a diplomat and order him to go to Rihad with a 100 armed escorts they will carry banners and marching bands with them to excite the local populace for better times with a some supplies of food to give to the local people in need. He also sends a scout to falkrith with 10 guards

Hamzah would be in the council room as diplomats arrived he the signals everyone to sit as he summons the diplomats from Al-Sham to speak first, “My sultan, the Sultan of Al-Shams agreed to the alliance, and says to tell you that if the people of Khalastine is ever in need of help they will come.” the diplomats from Al-Shams finished with a grin, “This is good news! I am certain that i made the right choice for our people's future, come i want to hear the diplomats i sent to dragonstar!” Hamzah would say with a smile, the diplomats steps forward “My sultan, High Chief Urbuil Gastub refuses to see us he said that Skaven have not proven our worth to him and if i may be bold my sultan, he didn't recognize our sovereignty for any true leader would recognize the sovereignty of Khalstine and not only that sir but he treats the blood kin and the orcs better than the other people, Surely this is wrong for we should treat all our citizens equally and not favor only certain race, That is all i have to report my sultan”  Hamzah would frown nodding in agreement, “It seems as if High Chief Urbuil Gastub, is not being completely fair at all, and how can he say that Khalastine doesn't have worth to him if he hasn't even allow our diplomats to speak? No, indeed this orc is in clear error and blunt headed.” He says with a frown, he would shake his head and turn to Uthaman, “Surely you must have news on the mines?”He says judge the look on Uthaman face, “Indeed My sultan, We have found the Corundum in the mines!” He says with a smile, Hamzah would have a sun smile “Good! I want the mines to focus their production on Iron ore and Corundum ore as well, with whose material we can start making steel for horse hooves and and tools and for our damage wall, but more importantly weapons and armor to equip the men we have! I want a forge to be built as well so we can start production.” hamzah would finish before looking to Saeed with a frown  “What is wrong Saeed? Have someone upset you?” he says as Saeed would keep his face down “LOOK AT ME WHEN I AM TALKING YOU YOU!” Hamzah would shout as everyone jerk back a bit a bit nervous, Saeed would look up with tears in his eyes as he has a scar on his face “My sultan Bandits has came into my mother's home in the dead of night but i was with my mother as it happen, i tried to convince them to leave instead they struck me with a dagger and Bash me in the head with a wooden baton so i fell unconscious i awake with my mother dead on the floor with a stab wound to her heart.” Saeed will finish with a choke with tears, Hamzah would have a shocked face and would run to hug his friend, as he ask him a question, “Where were the Guards?” Hamzah ask “I do not kn-” Saeed would break into sobbing, hamzah would pat his friend in the back, “Uthaman arrange for Saeed Mother funeral and proper burial, and i want 1,500 more troops to be conscripted into the army NOW, and i want all the men to train harder for defences and offences, even the ones who are already recruited and trained have them help the new recruits train as well.” Hamzah would look at Saeed, “Saeed for now on you are staying at my home, Do not bother on trying to convince me to let you go back home i already instructed my guards to take you to the guest room.” he would nod to the guards as the guards take Saeed to a room “Uthaman.” Hamzah would turn to Uthaman with a stern and firm face “i expect that in one and a half  years time i will have 2000 troops trained even BETTER than the current troops, there is also a Style of battle i want them to be using as well, i suspect at least 1000 Jannasiries, 400 Elite Archers and 600 Sipahi horsemen, do not worry on giving the men armor and weapons just yet as soon as we build that forge i want them to start to prepares making steel weapon and armor for the army, and  recurved composite bow to be supplied to the archers as well.” Hamzah would pause for a moment, “I do not know what is in the future Uthaman, but i have a feeling that War is coming to Khalastine, if Dragonstar thinks we are weak then others will as well…” Hamzah would shake his head “come get the men ready and strong, when we get armor and weapons, then the real hard training will come.” Hamzah would finish as everyone is given orders.

---------------RP Section-----------------

 

Queen Athaere stood nearby as she watched a younger Altmer train with one of the Master Mages.

 

“Ready?” he asked as he conjured a ball of flame in his hand. The Apprentice nodded as he held his hands up putting up a ward, The Master suddenly forms a second flame thrusting both hands outward as it flies and strikes the ward dissipating it immediately. The Apprentice stumbles slightly caught by surprise “I did it. I did it!” he cheers as the master nods “You’ve been practicing, good. Now onto the next lesson.”

 

Queen Athaere would step out leaving the Mage Hall towards the war room where her Martial Adus and her Spymaster Vianmir would be sitting looking over a map of Tamriel, they stand immediately and bow respectfully “My Queen.” they greet.

 

“Hello gentlemen, what are you both up to?” she walks over looking down at the map. A blue flag over Sunhold, white over Shimmerene and black marked on all other provinces “Sunhold and Shimmerene for now are the only friendly neighbors we know of, I greatly suggest we prepare better ways of gathering information and gaining infiltration in the long run, My Lady.”

 

Queen Athaere looks down at a few documents “It isn’t a reformation of the Thalmor. They were fools.” Adus and Vianmir look at her oddly “My Lady?” Adus asks. She looks to them “We are superior yes, that goes without saying. However that isn’t an excuse for such lowly work and subterfuge. We are the rightful rulers of Tamriel because we are the Children of Auri-El! He lead us here with a purpose. Perhaps one day..we can ascend and rejoin Auri-El one day just as it had been for our Aldmer ancestors. But until then it is our responsibility to bring Order and Discipline to the races of this world. To guide them, Humanity and the Beastfolk are too young to be allowed to rule. But with our guidance, we can bring a sense of Order and Civilization to all...THAT is why we do what we do gentlemen and Vianmir is right, we need to get more aggressive with our plans. In the coming years we will do so after home is properly prepared.”

 

Vianmir takes his documents and stands bowing to her “I shall begin working to reform and create such an organization capable of enforcing such a task My Lady.” he dismisses himself from the room and Athaere looks to Adus “Now I have a job for you Adus.” he looks to her standing “What do you require of me My Lady?” he asks

 

Athaere smiles “Time to begin training everyone, I will be joining you.”

 

Meanwhile Vianmir and Sagelock look over an old site of abandoned building “I do believe here would be a good place for what Lady Athaere and you seek to create. Though it will certainly take longer than just one year.” he states as Vianmir paces forward putting his hands on his hips looking over the area, the ground, the sky. He was odd at times, dark and some would say paranoid but there is a reason he is the Queen’s Spymaster. He was damn good at what he did.

 

“Good, I wasn’t expecting this to take less than a year. I’m expecting a couple at least.” he’d turn to notice an Altmer clad in white robes with some light steel armor beneath them approach. He was tall, stoic and graceful. His white cloak was gilded with golden engravings and he wore a sunlight crown. It was Telion Faeihle, High Priest of Alinor and one of the most devoted Auri-El worshippers in the kingdom. “So I see you’ve begun planning without me?” he asked

 

Steward Sagelock shook his head “Just trying to be ahead of schedule.” he comments

 

The three advisors would work throughout the year in the construction for the Scripture Headquarters. It was meant to serve as a place to train and organize Agents of the Scripture. On the outside and top sections it would hold the HQ for the White Scripture. These Men and Women would serve as the face of it’s operations. Openly spreading Auri-El’s influence where they can and the more experienced would serve as a personal guard for Queen Athaere.

Agents and Fighters of the White Script

 

The White Scripture would also be charged with hunting and rooting out undead and other unwanted creatures of dark nature. On the subject of Dark Nature..A secret section was to be created beneath the Sanctuary, the HQ for the Black Scripture. Assassin, Thieves, and Agents meant to work the more shadowed jobs and operations. Though only Queen Athaere and Spymaster Vianmir would hold any knowledge of Black Scripture Agents, tasks, and their purpose. All answer to Athaere, Queen and future Empress of the Dominion...

Agents of the Black Script

Crescent Empire

 

Though it is accepted they broke their word, the war continues. Prince Amantius and his council openly detest how the duel worked. Even the army was angered. To see their leader of Blades so easily....slaughtered. Though the rules were not clarified, honor had been expected. A match of blade against blade, a duel between champions. What Bravil sent was a mage, probably a master. The Empire could have done the same, but what is that? Bravil has always been known as a shanty. And now the populace living within proved it. The town bred scum and needed to be purged.

 

And so the Empire completes it's encirclement of the city. Amantius leaves the disposition of troops to his regional commanders. Areas under the highest threat will have the most troops stationed. Forts cover the roads, and soon trenches and walls begin to connect the forts. The ships are vigilant, armed with weapons to fight Argonians. They will not let any enter, bearing for or supply. The navy will also begin to bombard the city reaches. With artillery from the ships, burning cask are flung. The same is done all around on land. Their goal was to smash down the walls, and destroy crucial defenses.

 

The Jerallian orcs are kept as a strong reserve. If any sign of danger arose, they would be the ones to meet it. Thanking them for their service, the Empire begins to honor it's debt. All the prisoners from the ambush battle are given over as slaves. Alongside that the Orcs receive the supplies from the dead cavalry to better arm/armor themselves.

 

The Empire will begin to long process of starving the city out. It is hoped they had not stockpiled for too long. They were bound to have a whole army to feed. And it did not seem the citizens fled, more mouths for sure. The Empire secured it's own supplies meanwhile. Nearby farmers are paid for their food, and protected. Ships will also be escorted south, bearing much needed relief.

The past few days had been straining on Mazat, as he and Lurbug sent missives to each of the people related to the one hundred fallen in the battle. However, today he would send another fifty young orcish men to their deaths for the preservation of their nation. It felt almost petty, trading lives for a greater value in silver. But yet, the High Chieftain was determined to lead his brothers and sisters to glory, even if that meant sacrifices had to be made.

 

High Shaman, Mogro approached Mazat several days after all of the letters had been sent. "Mazat. The men you requested are waiting in the courtyard. Shall I begin the rites?" The wrinkled shaman sighed, visibly distressed due to the events which Mazat had requested be done.

The High Chieftain nodded, "Indeed. If we are to send men to certain doom then we must ease their minds. Ensure their ascension to the Ashpits."

 

The group moved outside, a typical Bruma flurry had moved into the town and everyone was wrapped tightly in furs. Before Mazat were fifty young orcs, each one with different hopes and dreams. The largest and likely oldest of the group stepped forward and gave a bow to Mazat. "We have assembled as requested, Chief. I have briefed each of them on the task you've set forth."

 

"Y-Yes... As you are all aware, this mission is a dangerous one. We do not expect all of you to survive. You are to enter Falkreath Hold and sabotage as many trade routes and roads as you can. Monthly, a small group of you is to come back to Bruma with a portion of your earnings. From now on your group is by all intents and purposes deceased. May Malacath guide your paths."

 

Mogro stepped towards the group, holding a bowl filled with a black oil and a fine mesh laid over top the liquid. One by one the orcs placed their hands onto the mesh, painting their palms a deep black. The Shaman mumbled phrases in Old Orcish, before waving a charred bundle of herbs through the air.

 

"Your sacrifices will not go in vain, each of you indeed had great things ahead of you. However, to preserve this great nation, we must make hard decisions."

Other looked down from his podium as he watched the soldiers march in disciplined lines down the field.

He could see that his troops had been trained well these past few years as they rythmically marched almost as one until all 500 men stood before him in ranks.

They had been trained well and with the help of the brutal but effective drillmasters he got one of the most disciplined forces in the world, not that he had much intelligence on those other forces anyway.

Yet he knew that simply parading around was now a clear show of ability, it just showed how intimidating and effective they were in marching long distances.

"Men present training weapons."Uther would command as the troops put down their real swords and took out of their luggage a wooden sword which was heavier because of lead in it.

"Battlions 1, 3, and from the 5th battalion the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th century stand on the opposite side of the field the rest position yourselves on this side of the fields."

"Commander Dante you will take the lead of the 1st, 3rd and the half of the fifth battalion, commander Farsight you will take the command of the other battalions." when he spoke to commander farsighted he would not to the one eyed man.

"Yes my lord."both would say and bow to lord Uther

 

They both then turned away and prepared their troops for the training battle.

Uther would look in interest as both commanders went to their sides and organized their battalions.

They both had different style of combat with Commander Dante focusing more on his heavy infantry and full force attack with one of his best skills was his ability to break a line."

In comparison to Dante commander Farsight was an expert on always keeping the bigger picture in mind and some of the moves that would not make sense in the beginning of the battle would turn to his advantage.

Yet this sometimes made him less capable of seeing the short term and this in return would sometimes foil his plans when things do not go exactly according to plan.

They were two opposites but they filled each other out and whilst apart of each other they would most of the time switch between who wins but if they worked together they would be better than they would work apart.

This he could see as the battle progressed since in the short term Dante was at an advantage and at multiple points he was at a threat to break through the line but as the battle progressed very slowly but surely commander farsighted started to gain the advantage until winning the battle but barely with heavy 'casualties'.

This battle whilst not showing any surprises in the style of the commanders did show how trained the troops are but now he could see that whilst they were trained and discplined they were inexperienced but that would change soon.

 

His troops were trained and equipped and they could soon start to march upon the northern provinces and start the uniting of High Rock.

Some might die, most would likely survive but in the end all that mattered was that eventually all of High Rock was united and that all the petty wars would end.

Yet now he was soon going to wage one of those petty wars but for a higher purpose not for money, nor power but unity and he would not stop until all of High Rock was united willingly or unwillingly.
